If you go strictly by the NT, you can't. And that's a quagmire for a lot of spiritual leaders. So killing with premeditation creates the need to bring in the OT, which is another quagmire, because then you get the "benefit" of killing people without a need for absolution, but now you can't eat shellfish.
